My research for year

Quote

 Exchange - open 24 hrs - on so I 13/1  so I Lost Office. The T T exchanges on soi 13 & 14 as well as independent one in front of Vill a Market, have the best rates - by 5 satang - I have seen. There are 2 exchanges on soi Pattayatai, near sou Buakh ao" intersection that are very good too.

s running around there might be a independent one giving better than T. T.  But it is rare unless it is next door to where you are staying. Down W. S.  Beach Rd,  all along Buakhao including Soi Diana best rate pretty much all the same is T.T., the T. T.  At Big C Klang give a bit lower than the rest usuall .10 from my observation. 

Gemini exchange on soi 13/1 - sou Postoffice.o Open 24/7

I'm in Patts, I'll also give you $5 each for those worthless notes.

I live on Thepprasit, I just wish that the Baht buses on Thepprasit would start running again. It was so handy, 10 Baht to Thappraya Road then either another to Jomtien or Pattaya.

I did not know that the Baht Busses even ran on Thepprasit.  That would be handy.  Since the CVid thing, the Baht busses have not run on Pattaya Nu either. It would be nice if those ran too. At night, many of the Baht Busses in Jomtien are few between and also selective as to who they stop to pick up.  That is unnerving!

12+ years ago when I started looking for a house (having lived in condos for the previous 7 years), I was only interested in living on the Bright Side. I spent a lot of time travelling around seeing different agents and villages, but the cheapest house I saw then that met my needs (which weren't that demanding: 3 bedrooms, a farang kitchen, a reasonably quiet location but not too far from the fun, and access to a swimming pool, though not wanting a private pool) was 4.5 million Baht, and that one was way down in Baan Suan Lalana on Soi Chaiyapruek. I don't think house prices on the Bright Side have gone up much over the last decade, whereas they seem to have shot up in the right parts of the Dark Side. It makes me wish I'd spent the 7 million on a gaff out by Mabprachan rather than here near Thepprasit.

I know someone who recently bought a condo in Baan Suan Lalana, paid 1 mil ThB.  And there were lots more units for sale....lots more.   Buying a condo is easy, selling one no so easy. Especially if you want to break even.  This is a renter's market.

Grab should be fine, just leave a small amount of extra time in case there are no cars nearby at that hour. Bolt is also ok, but you'll need to pay cash.

 

The price should be nowhere near 1000 baht - right at this moment, on a weekday afternoon, Grab is under 500 and Bolt is less than 400, and at 5am it will likely be even less.  

Absolutely, 1000 ThB gets you to Pattaya.  Has the cannabis liberalization gotten to this guy?

I did mine in Chonburi (Jomtien/Pattaya), yup they wanted that insurance, the TM6 card(seems like everyone wants this),proof of paid residence, the required fee in cash, your actual passport, that silly ASQ form you got upon testing in ASQ hotel, a photo, passport biometric & visa page photostat copy, completed TM7 form, STM2 form completed. They rifled thru these docs I presented for over 15 mins and voila, an extension stamp was inserted into my passport.

I have no idea if any of this was overkill, but it did the trick.  Go figure, this becomes the required 90 day check in, so there is nothing else until the next visa renewal.

It is not the wallet , it is where you put it . I put my wallet in front pocket and put my hand in my pocket . Back pocket , you wont feel , something i learned back in Spain when i was much younger . I did feel and didn't lose it because he gave it back straight away , but i know how fast it is ...

If you were a woman, you would know - immediately - if someone else was in your back pocket.

My understanding is that SWIFT transfers are totally blocked internationally but only to SOME Russian banks. So I'm not aware of any reason why any Thai bank couldn't do a SWIFT transfer to the still not blocked Russian banks (if they wanted to). There may be other workarounds. Additional (or all) Russian banks might eventually be added to the no SWIFT list. 

There are over 300 banks in Russia, for the most part, the top 5 have most of the banking business, those are the sanctioned banks, not all of them. Not having access to the SWIFT transfer messaging system, makes international transfers cumbersome for the rest.

I know rules change and different embassies have different rules but I entered last year on a STV from the UK. No criminal record check required then 

I submitted my application, there no request for the criminal record check.

I know of no 1 year visa.

I recommend you get a Special Tourist Visa. Then do a border run or go abroad for a 60 day visa, then get a 30 day extension. Voila ...270 + 60 + 30 days.

Laos & Cambodia or possibly Malaysia are good candidates.

Vietnam & Singapore incur more expenses. 

I presume you can apply on line for the visa from anywhere, but will need to go abroad to re-enter to activate the visa.

Entering by airport is most probably the best way to do this.

Use a VPN from your home country to hide your actual location.
